Hack Darmstadt

Hacking for a Better City

On June 9, the first workshop of the newly founded "Hack Darmstadt" community took place in Darmstadt. Hack Darmstadt’s goal is to develop technology solutions – including software and hardware – that provide responses to the challenges of modern urban regions. Based on the technical infrastructure and philosophy of the "The Things Network", participants develop ways of measuring nightlife noise levels or pollution, among other things, focusing on the useful side of the Internet of Things (IoT). Yatta was part of the organizing team and accompanied the first successful Hack Darmstadt event last Friday.
